Hello and welcome. It's our number one hour one of

regional audio content, not only today, it's not on radio.

of the Malard Meet and Greet which is tomorrow in
southern California at his comic book shop. Get all the
information on that will go point by point. We'll learn
a little bit about Andy the comic book Guy. So
(00:44):
that'll be on the Fifth Hour podcast available probably right
now or in a little bit to download. And in addition,
we talked football. What do you make of NFL media
big shots calling for the NFL to outlaw practice FI
not in a game, Not in a game. We're talking
about practice. And Tyreek Hill has announced he skips film
(01:08):
to study opponents via the Madden video game franchise. Do
you believe it or not? For the Dolphin Wide receiver
and how will Andy Reid handle Patrick Mahomes' very public
request to run more quarterback keepers. Talk about all that
and more right now here. It is our number one
(01:28):
Welcome to Fight Club, well not so much welcome. In
the beginning of another edition of the Ben Malor Show.
We are in the air everywhere, driveling as we burn
the clock, literally coast to coast, border the order.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
And beyond all the bast and downright powerful microphones of
FSR ammnating live from the puff the creampuff of the overnight,
and we.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Are broadcasting live from the Tiraq dot com studios. Tyraq
dot Com will help you get there that amazing unmatched selection,
fast free shipping. They've got free road hazard protection and
over ten thousand recommended in starllars. We're told that's a lot.
It is tyrac dot Com the way tire buying should be.
(02:31):
And we head into the Friday Funday here in the
overnight in our lead this hour coming from the sweet
science of football, not boxing, not boxing football. Yep. If
you have been following the Blueprint of training Camp circa
(02:53):
twenty twenty three, as it has dragged on, getting close
to the end of all of this just a few
more weeks and they'll be real football. But the two
big headlines that have been on our sonar the last
couple of weeks. You've been listening to your sports radio.
You know this, but this show in particular quarterbacks throwing
copious amounts of interceptions in training camp. Out Oh, m J,
(03:17):
out m J. That's been a big story. People going
go GoF for that. Then you have the fisticuffs mixing
with football on a regular basis. That's also been a
storyline that's gotten a lot of attention. But have you
heard the latest here? Maybe not, I hope not, but
(03:37):
if you have, I'm gonna remind you. So as we
understand it, a handful of prominent media types, the football
media elites, have recommended the NFL pull the plug on pugilism.
As you might imagine if you follow the NFL media,
(03:59):
one of the loudest voices griping about fighting from a
barn in West Virginia, Mike Florio calling for real discipline
for practice fights, claiming the NFL eventually will be forced
to do so. We'll have to do something because someone's
gonna get seriously injured in the ball. So we must
(04:19):
get rid of this. And there's other people that have
written think pieces on this topic about getting rid of
the fight game in football. So let us discuss what
do you make of some NFL media types calling to
outlaw the fight game. So I've got three stooges, Alanis
(04:41):
Morisset and Jersey Mikes, and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to butt heads,
is what we're going to do. That's how we're gonna
do it.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
So a.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Growing up a fan of football, my memory as a
child was Gladiators because I'm the age where I watched
NFL films, hardest hits, biggest a holes in the NFL.
I remember documentary NFL films made about Chuck bedn Erik
and what an a hole he was and some of
the other players of the old Ears of the NFL.
(05:15):
But then when I was a kid, also, I attended
La Rams training camp and it was very laid back.
It wasn't the corporate experience that it is today where
they sell tickets and souvenirs and you know all that crap. No,
it was. It was a fat guy security guard with
a folding chair and some rope to keep people away,
(05:37):
very casual, very casual, and I recall, and maybe I'm wrong,
it was with the eyes of a child. But as
I remember, I witnessed a bunch of players fighting amongst
each other during camp, and coaches blowing whistles to tell
him to stop it, and then you know, hooting and
hollering and all that. But I don't remember this, and
(05:58):
maybe maybe it happened, and I just recall, but I
don't remember anyone getting worked into a lather. At that time.
It was just boys being boys. Of course, now now
we live in a different time. We were living in
the golden age of complaining. What a great time to
be alive, the golden age of the complaint. Lonely people
(06:21):
logging on to social networks with a megaphone, searching for
a reason to be outraged and remain outraged. I'm outraged
by you being outraged, so I'm more outraged. Yeah, okay,
thank you, thank you, numb nuts. But this is why
we cannot have nice things over recent years. I came
(06:41):
up with this hypothesis when I was walking into the studio.
Over the years, we have had a hostile takeover of
our sports world. We have, and I blame the three stooges.
That is who I blame, and they've become invasive species
in our domain. I am talking about the nerds, the nannies,
(07:03):
and the lawyers, all right, the nerds, the nannies, and lawyers.
Now the analytical nerds have brought this obsession with numbers
and algorithms over human beings to the sporting world. It's
more prevalent in baseball, but it goes on in football.
At the time. One of the reasons Dalvin Cook was
let go by the Vikings was because he crossed over
fifteen hundred career touches and the nerds said, can't have that,
(07:26):
get rid of this person. All right. Fine, So then
you have the nanny state, and that's mostly media people,
and you know the all they people would celebrate the
fighting football players, the toughness, the machiesem of teams that
would fight. Now you've got idiots like Mike Florio who
(07:46):
can play it's not safe. Are you gonna get rid
of the Yeah? But then you have the attorneys who
read those stories that are written by over protective, helicopter
parent type reporters and then they file multi million dollar losses.
So it's the perfect storm started by the three Stooges.
(08:08):
Now turning the page on that, we head to Miami, Miami, Miami,
where the Cheetah has gone viral yet again. En if
you didn't hear this, maybe not. We can't show it
to you because we're only on the audio format of radio,
but we'll play it for you. And I was told
by a boss early in my career, a program director said, hey, Ben,
(08:29):
you got good audio. Play good audio. And to my
current one of my current bosses, absolutely, mam Miami. Let
me tell you something. All right, So this is really
solid audio. It comes out of Miami. Tyreek Hill. If
you didn't see it, Tyreek Hill has announced that he
does not watch game film, but he does prepare for opponents.
(08:51):
And he mentioned the thing that he does to get
ready when like the Dolphins are getting ready to play
the Patriots or the Jets or the Bills, he turns
on his PlayStation and his Madden game. Rather than me
just read the quote. Let's go to the audio tip here,
as Warner Wolf would say, here's Tyreek Hill, all pro
NFL receiver, on preparing for an opponent. Take a listen.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Nah, So so I feel like Madden has a good
tale of how good players are. So I just played
Madden the night before and I go look at all
their ratings. So let's say, for instance, they had Steve
Nelson and Derek Stingley over the two phenomenal players by
the way.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
I just go get on Madden. I go to the
EA rosters.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Then I scrolled down and see what they awareness is,
they speed is and they strength.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
And that's how I get a good tale on her.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Yeah. So, hey, reading the scouting report and watching the film,
come on, So Tyreek Hill, you heard him say it.
I didn't say he said it was my words. He's
the one that said it. So Tyreek Hill's skipping film
for video game research opposition research? Do you do you
believe it or not? Because there are some saying, well,
(10:02):
Tyreek's just being a showman. He's a podcast guy now,
so he's just trying to get attention. He doesn't actually
he doesn't actually believe that, and people don't believe it.
So the question do we believe it? Do we believe
it or not that Tyreek Hill actually doesn't really watch film,
just plays plays video games. So on this one, I
am a devout, faithful follower of the doctrine of tyreek
(10:24):
Hill what he said, one hundred percent? Am I a sucker?
Maybe I am. But my theory on this it's human
nature to cut corners. I just watched recently and we'll
talk more about this later. I watched the Johnny Manziel
documentary which has been bouncing around, and Menzel when he
was playing quarterback for the Cleveland Browns watched no Film,
and he was the quarterback for the Cleveland Reds. Watch
no film. Film is boring? Film is ron Tyreek Hill
(10:47):
is so good at this point he doesn't need to
watch film. But at least he's playing the Madden game,
which is a step up from Kyler Murray, who's playing
other games than Madden. But film's boring. Video games are enchanting,
They're mesmerizing. And this is an Atlantis Morisset song from
back in the day. Isn't it ironic? Isn't it ironic
(11:10):
that NFL teams spend millions of dollars on advanced scouting
and game prep for opponents and only to have their
star players drop seventy bucks on a Madden game and
crank on the PlayStation. Just think that dolphins are at
a hotel in Boston. Outside Boston, they're getting ready to
(11:31):
play the Patriots. It's a Saturday night and Tyreek is
bunkered up playing hours of the game on his PlayStation.
There with the Patriots. He's breaking down the secondary of
Bill Belichick's team while getting Uber eats and having pizza
delivered and snacks. And now I should tell you, if
(11:52):
the Dolphins actually win the Super Bowl, they win the Lombardy,
then some Poindexter software engineer at Electronic Arts should get
a Super Bowl share because it's in the game, and
they should get a ring. And I don't think all right,
last word, let's go to can Za City, the home
of the Ben Mallard chicken fingers. People often think that
(12:13):
Kansas City is really the star of barbecue, but I disagree.
I think the Ben Mallard chicken fingers, that's what that
town's known for. And might I point out since the
Ben Mallard chicken figures went on the menu at the
landing there in Kansas City, the Royals have won a
World Series, the Chiefs have won multiple Super Bowls. Is
that just a coincidence? I think not. I think there's
(12:34):
a causation situation going on. Anyway, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Patrick Mahomes wants to use his legs more. Oh, that's
big news, big news. Well, the problem is Andy Reid
has pretty much said X nay on the sneak A
and no sneak play. They don't run it regularly. There
(12:56):
does not get a lot of regular airplay. If they
were a radio station. Mahomes would like to get it back.
He recently said, quote, I'll always want to start as
the quarterback sneak because I always say that I haven't
got stopped yet. I think he've gotten stop, but who knows,
hey jabbered. Now, Mahomes said he is pretty sure that
Andy Reid is not going to let him run quarterback
(13:19):
sneaks regularly unless it's the Super Bowl. He said so,
and he said he might have to call his own
number in Super Bowl if they get back there. So
how will Andy Reid handle the very public statements of
Patrick Mahomes, which is a clear request to get more
quarterback keepers. So here's what Andy Reid's gonna do. He's
(13:42):
gonna call for a luncheon. He's gonna take Mahomes to
Jersey mics. It's HOGI time, right, He's gonna start out
by talking about what a great humanitarian Mahomes is, the
savior of Kansas City Chiefs football. He will then pivot
and explained that he has PTSD and he's gotten therapy
(14:04):
because back in twenty nineteen, Mahomes dislocated his knee on
a quarterback keeper, which happens to be about the time
the Chiefs stopped running consistently quarterback keepers after that. Then
Mahomes will finish up by giving or read Rout will
give Mahomes a little bit of a bubble bath, well
manny petty situations shoulder massage. That's what we call a compliment,
(14:28):
Sandwich delicious. Is that the number nine a jersey mix?
I don't know, but it's a compliment. Sandwich that said,
if I was calling plays for Kansas City, you know
you know what I do, not the traditional quarterback keeper. No, no, no,
I go tushy tushy, pushy tush push the eagle play.
(14:49):
Gotta do it. That would be my go to every
team in the NFL should do. Is the NFL didn't
outlaw it. They didn't say it's for boating. Do it.
There's no embargo on it. And that the NFL refuse
to do it, they consider doing it, and it's it's
the most lethal play in football I have seen in years.
No one's been able to stop it, so everyone should
(15:10):
do it. Any team that does not complete eighty five
to ninety percent of fourth and one, third and one
situations dopes that play is insane and as long as
it's allowed, go for it. What do you have to lose?
All right? Is the band Maelord Show. You want to

about where the NFL is now and where the NFL

On the mal Of monologue, Tyreek Hill is one cheap
shot away from being a janitor, and he says some
rumor about Mahomes and his wife being a very open
(19:01):
minded Uh. I heard that one, but nothing would shock me.
Andy the comic book guy, who is scheduled to appear
on the Fifth Hour podcast on Friday to promote the
Malard Meet and greet, You're gonna go in depth with
Andy the comic book guy, he says Ben in that audio,
Tyreek did not even say that he plays Madden the

team list to check the stats of the players, and
he points out that's a clown move. That is a
clown move. Trucker Joe writes in I finally got to
listen to the whole show in a long ass time,
feels good to do so, versus just being a podcast listener.
(19:46):
Shout out to the cry baby the Trump Sir scratch Off,
Yeah he's not He's not around anymore, scratch Off. I
don't know what happened. Oh yeah, he actually he blocked me.
How about that? Wait? Breaking news here, Eddie, breaking news.
I have been blocked by, Sir Scratchoff. Oh no, yes,
(20:07):
I've been I've been blocked by Uh but what did
I say to get blocked? What did I What did
I do? I don't remember saying anything. I haven't talked
about it. Why did he do that? I mean, I'm fine,

like that. But uh, that's weird. Did you get blocked to,
Eddie or I'll look. Yeah, let me know what a loss?

Speaker 7 (20:44):
I don't even know what is what his handle is?

Speaker 5 (20:54):
So now I don't really care that much. I'm not
going to look.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Well, I I the only reason I would even know
about this is I blamed Trucker Joe, that jackass Trucker Joe,
because he tagged so scratch off and so then I
just clicked on that, and then it pointed out you're blocked.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
I don't care. I'm leaving goodbye.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Ye here, certain people I like them. You know, most
people are mute anyway.
Speaker 7 (21:18):
So who tagged him? I still can't find it.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Trucker Joe. Trucker Joe, gotta have a fall guy.
Speaker 7 (21:27):
Oh I see, okay, let me see.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Let's see if you're you're not. Oh okay, so you
like Coop and Eddie will have to check. I'm just
curious there. Uh Riga Minnesota points out that the NFL
in the world today flowers is a bunch of pussy
willow flowers nowadays. Uh I said Floria was an attorney
back of the day. Good monologue to start, well, Floria
(21:52):
actually knew Florya. When I was doing my website at
a gossip website. Florio was with like two other guys
doing a. It was not just a football site, it
was all sports. They were kind of doing the same
thing I was doing. And then he pulled away from
the other people he was working with and just did
it on his own and it kind of took off
and whatnot. But yeah, quite the deal, Anthony says Mahlor
(22:18):
after smoking. I sounded like George Takai. Well, congratulations, congratulations.
You will take some phone calls here. It is a
call and show at eight seven, seven ninety nine on
Fox if you would like to be part eight seven
seven nine nine six six three sixty nine and on
the Twitter slash x at Ben Mallor. We had one
(22:38):
NFL exhibition game last night. There was just one, and
I did flip to it for one second. Buy mistake,
buy mistake. I was I was watching some baseball and
I flipped over and it was riveting. And the timing
on this was serendipitous, the timing because I literally watched
(22:59):
it for at thirty seconds probably total. But I turned
over to the game, the Browns Eagles game, and the
sideline reports of Browns and I don't know who this
woman is, but she was giving a toe massage to
Deshaun Watson. On the sideline. They were like flirting on
the sidelines. It was very cringeworthy. Watch yes, real sugary.
(23:19):
You know, it's just and I know she was like
working for the Browns TV broadcast, but wow, I mean
I felt like I needed a shower after that. I
don't know about them, but it was very odd. And
that game ended in an eighteen all tie, which is
just great. They don't play overtime and practice football. So
(23:41):
the game in and the tie, But tales of my
idiot kicker, Tales of my idiot kicker. Cleveland Browns kicker
in this game making some headlines here because he missed
two field goals, But that's not the story here, as
Paul Harvey, the old broadcaster said back in the day,
and now we're going to get to the rest of
(24:02):
the story. So the Browns kicker, Cade York is his name,
Caid York who and he finished three or four on
field goal attempts. The game entered in an eighteen all tie,
but he had missed both of the previous kicks in
(24:23):
the preseison game, so there was chatter that the Browns
could go out and replace this guy. But apparently the
story here. Let me explain the story. So this guy
went on Instagram live not Instagram, I just regular Instagram
at halftime and posted on Instagram that he had made
a kick in the first half, so he I don't
(24:46):
think that's allowed. Maybe in the exhibition season they don't care,
But I thought the NFL that was like, for Boten,
you're not supposed to go on social media. Dr know whatever,
he's a kicker. Probably like, who's going to be following
a kicker for the Cleveland Browns in an exhibition game?
But first people, And so the guy went on there
and posted that he had made a kick in the
first half and then completely shanked it. And that's one
(25:11):
of the reasons the game ended in a tie at
the end, because he had a shot go ahead field
goal two minutes left in this exhibition game, and he
did not convert the first one. But there was a
penalty on the Eagles that was wide right from forty
seven yards, so they called the penalty on the Eagles,
so they moved the ball up five yards, so he
(25:31):
went from forty two yards out and he missed it
just off the left, upright. He then deleted the social
media post there celebrating that he had made a kick
earlier in the game, so he decided that that was it.
We're done with that.

I remember that story we talked about a little bit
with Joe Mixon running back of the Bengals, gotten to
some some trouble issues late night at his house something
like that. Anyway, he was found not guilty.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Although this is different, listen different to you mix things up,
the cross the streams apparently, Yeah, the shooting outside of
his house. He was not charged with that. His I
think his sister was. If I remember the story.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
Greatly, it does sound familiar.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
This is just your classic road rage story.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
All right, well, let's let's cut that out of the podcast. Okay, good,
edit that out that Bengals running back Joe Mixon found
not guilty on a charge of aggravated menacing stemming from
an a Legends into January where a woman claimed that
he pointed a gun in her face.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Wouldn't that be road Uh?
Speaker 5 (27:13):
Yeah, that I would guess.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
So.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
Yeah, he's still being suited in a separate case talking
about what you were talking about me. He was. He
literally was a menace. That's absolutely true. It was part
of his title exactly.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Anyway, all right, well, good congratulations to Joe Mixon. Do
you think you had a big party there.
Speaker 5 (27:35):

Speaker 1 (28:47):
Well did you think that was allowed?
Speaker 9 (28:51):
Well, because it wasn't flat out like you know other
words I could.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
You were describing an activity is what you're describing? Yeah,
you were looking for You were looking for a tongue
bath is what you're looking for? How about that?
Speaker 9 (29:07):
Yeah? So that so then the second night she comes
over and she eats my gourmet ice cream, doesn't even
give me a handy. And then the third night, the
third night she comes over.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Tony I don't. I know you're gonna you're about to
say something which isn't gonna make it on the air. Tony,
I know you. I know what you're gonna do here.
Why would why would you do this?
Speaker 5 (29:27):
No?
Speaker 9 (29:27):
No, no, no, no, just give me a second and
then night.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Hold. Let's take bet you, Eddie. Do you think what
he's about to say will make it on the air.
I'm going no.
Speaker 5 (29:37):
I'm gonna say no as well.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Okay, anyone thinking what he says will make it on the.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Air, I'm gonna say yes. I believe in this man, Okay.
I believe he's going to obey the three strikes policy.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
I can't wait to find out.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Okay, Well, let's go back to the drama's building here
as Tony's on two strikes, and the SAME's about to
end here for Tony, and this is gonna be his
last call of the week, and maybe we'll ban him
for a month if this doesn't go well. So there's
a lot of pressure here, Tony. You've already violated the
rules twice? Will you strike out? Here?
Speaker 6 (30:12):
We go?
Speaker 9 (30:13):
Okay, So the third night she comes over and she
went through my cookies like goddamn raccoon and so the
So that's three strikes.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
You're out? Correct? Well, I I don't know, Tony. You
have other options here, Tony, I like that you're calling
us for dating advice though.
Speaker 6 (30:37):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
That's good, thank you? All right. I don't know. Did
that make it on the air or not? I don't know.
Speaker 7 (30:46):
I think listen to the podcast.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
I want to go back and listen. I did not
did not? Is that right?
Speaker 6 (30:53):
Well?
Speaker 7 (30:53):
He said g D can't say we're not. We're not
even in safe harbor yet, are we?
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Now you are? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (31:02):
I mean I guess, I guess we could have let
that slip.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
But well, out of an abundance of caution here.
Speaker 7 (31:07):
Yes, that's it's all of all on the podcast, folks.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
So you you did the three strikes, there was Sam,
So you did the.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Third one was a little ambiguous, but you did it.
I mean I might have hit the button. Yeah, we
always told are you.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
A little a little quick on the button?
Speaker 3 (31:23):
I was, Sam.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
No, I'm usually button therapy here.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
I think that I'm very fair to everyone involved, both
the company and the listener.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Everyone thinks they're fair. Everyone thinks they're fair. No one
thinks they're not. Fair. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
I want people to speak their mind, but within reason.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Yeah, but you're a little paranoid. That's my job. You're
not really to be paranoid. Roberto. By the time Roberto
got done, he didn't give a crap. Roberto would let
everything on the here. Oh well, and we didn't get
in trouble for it. I mean there was f bombs
flying out.
Speaker 7 (31:56):
Really, I don't know if you let that happen.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
There was, Yeah, it was.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
It was.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
It was the Old West, it really was. It was
just nuts. I want to go back to the Eagles
game again. I didn't watch much of it, but I
love the reaction here. People are freaking out because of
the play of a reality TV star quarterback. Is that
what Marcus Mariota is now? He's the backup, backup. He
(32:23):
is the one that is a sprained ankle, a ACL injury,
a concussion away from being the starting quarterback for Philadelphia.
Fealen hurts well, fragile at quarterback. You would assume the
way it hurts runs the ball that you put your impling,
(32:43):
implying he's gonna hurt more based on that style Playlet's
Traditionally the stats say that's how it's happened. Anyway. In
the game against Cleveland, playing vanilla defense, not game planning
to stop Marcus Mariota, he attempted seventeen passes, completing nine
of them. Sound particularly good, and it was not. The
(33:06):
people that follow the Eagles a little concerned here that
Mariota sucks. He did have an interception, and his final
numbers he averaged a scintillating, thrilling five point one yards
per attempt and just look disengaged. He can't get too
(33:29):
worked up on this. I say this with all these
preseason stories until the regular season begins, and then Mariota
gets into a game and plays like that, then you're like, okay,
but it's not a great sign when the guy quit
on the Atlanta Falcons because they benched him because he
was stiff last year and he kind of gave up
on that, and fine, maybe there's other stuff going on,
(33:50):
but he's never been the guy. It was a stretch
when he was a backup with the Raiders where people
were convinced he was gonna be great, wonderful with John Gruden,
and that went put. That went sideways. It is the
Ben Malor Show. As we continue on because if Tony
and the Bay we're not allowed to take any calls
(34:11):
right now, so we will have the MLB pick em.
The MLB pick them. Here's the who am I game? NOL,
We'll go to football Ladmian Tomlinson and Emmett Smith are
number one and two. They hold the record for most
touchdowns by any player at any position in the first
seven seasons of their careers in NFL history. I am
third behind those two legends. Over my first seven years. Again,
(34:34):
Tomlinson number one, Emmitt Smith number two, and the record
for the most touchdowns by player at any position in
their first seven seasons in NFL history, I am third
behind those football legends. Who am I the answer? We'll
get to it. We'll do it next.

Malad prop guy cheated? He got it right? Fergcat's going
with Ben Maller as the answer, Ed Norton. I guess
(36:57):
the Boss from West Side LBC Ontario Smith from a
Rieg the Flores Twins from Benito. It has to be
Chucky according to Cowboy Killer Chuck Foreman from The Midnight Walker,
Matt the Warrior Raider as fan also a dirty rotten cheeter.
Got it right, Jeff Reardon in old school expos gear.
(37:18):
That's a good photo for mister nice guy. Who else
do you we have? Page down? Uh, let's see, can't
read that on the air. We'll skip over that one too.
Philip Elliott is the answer from courtesy Flusher. That's his
guest Dick and Dayton from alf the Alien Opiner. By
the way, there will be a celebrity juggler at the
(37:41):
Malor Meet and green A. We've never done a meet
and greet.
Speaker 5 (37:43):
With a juggler, you know, I was just thinking, what
we need is a juggler.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Yes, yes, Now, we did have a live band when
Regina put the meet and greet in Minnesota. We had
a live band, but you were not there for that, Eddie.
But we'll have a juggler. I'm excited. A comedic juggler
that and this guy performs all over the country. Anyway,
the correct answer, Eddie, do you know the answer?
Speaker 5 (38:04):
Oh yeah, we just had him in a trivia game
the other day. It's Priest Holmes.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
It's a good name. But no, that is incorrect. It
is actually Sean Alexander, Sean Alison, underrated, sneaky good NFL player,
Sean Alexander. I don't know that we can put him
in the all time great category, Eddie, because he did
appear on the Fox Sports Radio. I think I interviewed
him back in the day, so I don't know you're
an all time great. If I interviewed you but anyway,
he sean Alexander is the correct answer. Time now for
(38:32):
the MLB, Pickum and kol Loop is going to go first, quickly.
Speaker 5 (38:38):
Cool Spencer Streider, Eddie, somebody named JP France.
Speaker 1 (38:45):

Hello and welcome. It's our number one hour one of
the Ben Maler Show podcast. As you have downloaded, we
thank you for that programming. Note, the Fifth Hour podcast
debuts today. It's on all weekend long. We'll have a
regional audio content, not only today, it's not on radio.
It's only on the podcast format here and was not
(00:22):
broadcast on radio, so we can say bad words. You

that guy, Andy the comic book Guy. He's the host
of the Malard Meet and Greet which is tomorrow in
southern California at his comic book shop. Get all the
information on that will go point by point. We'll learn
a little bit about Andy the comic book Guy. So
(00:44):
that'll be on the Fifth Hour podcast available probably right
now or in a little bit to download. And in addition,
we talked football. What do you make of NFL media
big shots calling for the NFL to outlaw practice FI
not in a game, Not in a game. We're talking
about practice. And Tyreek Hill has announced he skips film
(01:08):
to study opponents via the Madden video game franchise. Do
you believe it or not? For the Dolphin Wide receiver
and how will Andy Reid handle Patrick Mahomes' very public
request to run more quarterback keepers. Talk about all that
and more right now here. It is our number one
(01:28):
Welcome to Fight Club, well not so much welcome. In
the beginning of another edition of the Ben Malor Show.
We are in the air everywhere, driveling as we burn
the clock, literally coast to coast, border the order.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
And beyond all the bast and downright powerful microphones of
FSR ammnating live from the puff the creampuff of the overnight,
and we.

It is tyrac dot Com the way tire buying should be.
(02:31):
And we head into the Friday Funday here in the
overnight in our lead this hour coming from the sweet
science of football, not boxing, not boxing football. Yep. If
you have been following the Blueprint of training Camp circa
(02:53):
twenty twenty three, as it has dragged on, getting close
to the end of all of this just a few
more weeks and they'll be real football. But the two
big headlines that have been on our sonar the last
couple of weeks. You've been listening to your sports radio.
You know this, but this show in particular quarterbacks throwing
copious amounts of interceptions in training camp. Out Oh, m J,
(03:17):
out m J. That's been a big story. People going
go GoF for that. Then you have the fisticuffs mixing
with football on a regular basis. That's also been a
storyline that's gotten a lot of attention. But have you
heard the latest here? Maybe not, I hope not, but
(03:37):
if you have, I'm gonna remind you. So as we
understand it, a handful of prominent media types, the football
media elites, have recommended the NFL pull the plug on pugilism.
As you might imagine if you follow the NFL media,
(03:59):
one of the loudest voices griping about fighting from a
barn in West Virginia, Mike Florio calling for real discipline
for practice fights, claiming the NFL eventually will be forced
to do so. We'll have to do something because someone's
gonna get seriously injured in the ball. So we must
(04:19):
get rid of this. And there's other people that have
written think pieces on this topic about getting rid of
the fight game in football. So let us discuss what
do you make of some NFL media types calling to
outlaw the fight game. So I've got three stooges, Alanis
(04:41):
Morisset and Jersey Mikes, and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to butt heads,
is what we're going to do. That's how we're gonna
do it.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
So a.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Growing up a fan of football, my memory as a
child was Gladiators because I'm the age where I watched
NFL films, hardest hits, biggest a holes in the NFL.
I remember documentary NFL films made about Chuck bedn Erik
and what an a hole he was and some of
the other players of the old Ears of the NFL.
(05:15):
But then when I was a kid, also, I attended
La Rams training camp and it was very laid back.
It wasn't the corporate experience that it is today where
they sell tickets and souvenirs and you know all that crap. No,
it was. It was a fat guy security guard with
a folding chair and some rope to keep people away,
(05:37):
very casual, very casual, and I recall, and maybe I'm wrong,
it was with the eyes of a child. But as
I remember, I witnessed a bunch of players fighting amongst
each other during camp, and coaches blowing whistles to tell
him to stop it, and then you know, hooting and
hollering and all that. But I don't remember this, and
(05:58):
maybe maybe it happened, and I just recall, but I
don't remember anyone getting worked into a lather. At that time.
It was just boys being boys. Of course, now now
we live in a different time. We were living in
the golden age of complaining. What a great time to
be alive, the golden age of the complaint. Lonely people
(06:21):
logging on to social networks with a megaphone, searching for
a reason to be outraged and remain outraged. I'm outraged
by you being outraged, so I'm more outraged. Yeah, okay,
thank you, thank you, numb nuts. But this is why
we cannot have nice things over recent years. I came
(06:41):
up with this hypothesis when I was walking into the studio.
Over the years, we have had a hostile takeover of
our sports world. We have, and I blame the three stooges.
That is who I blame, and they've become invasive species
in our domain. I am talking about the nerds, the nannies,
(07:03):
and the lawyers, all right, the nerds, the nannies, and lawyers.
Now the analytical nerds have brought this obsession with numbers
and algorithms over human beings to the sporting world. It's
more prevalent in baseball, but it goes on in football.
At the time. One of the reasons Dalvin Cook was
let go by the Vikings was because he crossed over
fifteen hundred career touches and the nerds said, can't have that,
(07:26):
get rid of this person. All right. Fine, So then
you have the nanny state, and that's mostly media people,
and you know the all they people would celebrate the
fighting football players, the toughness, the machiesem of teams that
would fight. Now you've got idiots like Mike Florio who
(07:46):
can play it's not safe. Are you gonna get rid
of the Yeah? But then you have the attorneys who
read those stories that are written by over protective, helicopter
parent type reporters and then they file multi million dollar losses.
So it's the perfect storm started by the three Stooges.
(08:08):
Now turning the page on that, we head to Miami, Miami, Miami,
where the Cheetah has gone viral yet again. En if
you didn't hear this, maybe not. We can't show it
to you because we're only on the audio format of radio,
but we'll play it for you. And I was told
by a boss early in my career, a program director said, hey, Ben,
(08:29):
you got good audio. Play good audio. And to my
current one of my current bosses, absolutely, mam Miami. Let
me tell you something. All right, So this is really
solid audio. It comes out of Miami. Tyreek Hill. If
you didn't see it, Tyreek Hill has announced that he
does not watch game film, but he does prepare for opponents.
(08:51):
And he mentioned the thing that he does to get
ready when like the Dolphins are getting ready to play
the Patriots or the Jets or the Bills, he turns
on his PlayStation and his Madden game. Rather than me
just read the quote. Let's go to the audio tip here,
as Warner Wolf would say, here's Tyreek Hill, all pro
NFL receiver, on preparing for an opponent. Take a listen.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Nah, So so I feel like Madden has a good
tale of how good players are. So I just played
Madden the night before and I go look at all
their ratings. So let's say, for instance, they had Steve
Nelson and Derek Stingley over the two phenomenal players by
the way.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
I just go get on Madden. I go to the
EA rosters.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Then I scrolled down and see what they awareness is,
they speed is and they strength.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
And that's how I get a good tale on her.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Yeah. So, hey, reading the scouting report and watching the film,
come on, So Tyreek Hill, you heard him say it.
I didn't say he said it was my words. He's
the one that said it. So Tyreek Hill's skipping film
for video game research opposition research? Do you do you
believe it or not? Because there are some saying, well,
(10:02):
Tyreek's just being a showman. He's a podcast guy now,
so he's just trying to get attention. He doesn't actually
he doesn't actually believe that, and people don't believe it.
So the question do we believe it? Do we believe
it or not that Tyreek Hill actually doesn't really watch film,
just plays plays video games. So on this one, I
am a devout, faithful follower of the doctrine of tyreek
(10:24):
Hill what he said, one hundred percent? Am I a sucker?
Maybe I am. But my theory on this it's human
nature to cut corners. I just watched recently and we'll
talk more about this later. I watched the Johnny Manziel
documentary which has been bouncing around, and Menzel when he
was playing quarterback for the Cleveland Browns watched no Film,
and he was the quarterback for the Cleveland Reds. Watch
no film. Film is boring? Film is ron Tyreek Hill
(10:47):
is so good at this point he doesn't need to
watch film. But at least he's playing the Madden game,
which is a step up from Kyler Murray, who's playing
other games than Madden. But film's boring. Video games are enchanting,
They're mesmerizing. And this is an Atlantis Morisset song from
back in the day. Isn't it ironic? Isn't it ironic
(11:10):
that NFL teams spend millions of dollars on advanced scouting
and game prep for opponents and only to have their
star players drop seventy bucks on a Madden game and
crank on the PlayStation. Just think that dolphins are at
a hotel in Boston. Outside Boston, they're getting ready to
(11:31):
play the Patriots. It's a Saturday night and Tyreek is
bunkered up playing hours of the game on his PlayStation.
There with the Patriots. He's breaking down the secondary of
Bill Belichick's team while getting Uber eats and having pizza
delivered and snacks. And now I should tell you, if
(11:52):
the Dolphins actually win the Super Bowl, they win the Lombardy,
then some Poindexter software engineer at Electronic Arts should get
a Super Bowl share because it's in the game, and
they should get a ring. And I don't think all right,
last word, let's go to can Za City, the home
of the Ben Mallard chicken fingers. People often think that
(12:13):
Kansas City is really the star of barbecue, but I disagree.
I think the Ben Mallard chicken fingers, that's what that
town's known for. And might I point out since the
Ben Mallard chicken figures went on the menu at the
landing there in Kansas City, the Royals have won a
World Series, the Chiefs have won multiple Super Bowls. Is
that just a coincidence? I think not. I think there's
(12:34):
a causation situation going on. Anyway, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Patrick Mahomes wants to use his legs more. Oh, that's
big news, big news. Well, the problem is Andy Reid
has pretty much said X nay on the sneak A
and no sneak play. They don't run it regularly. There
(12:56):
does not get a lot of regular airplay. If they
were a radio station. Mahomes would like to get it back.
He recently said, quote, I'll always want to start as
the quarterback sneak because I always say that I haven't
got stopped yet. I think he've gotten stop, but who knows,
hey jabbered. Now, Mahomes said he is pretty sure that
Andy Reid is not going to let him run quarterback
(13:19):
sneaks regularly unless it's the Super Bowl. He said so,
and he said he might have to call his own
number in Super Bowl if they get back there. So
how will Andy Reid handle the very public statements of
Patrick Mahomes, which is a clear request to get more
quarterback keepers. So here's what Andy Reid's gonna do. He's
(13:42):
gonna call for a luncheon. He's gonna take Mahomes to
Jersey mics. It's HOGI time, right, He's gonna start out
by talking about what a great humanitarian Mahomes is, the
savior of Kansas City Chiefs football. He will then pivot
and explained that he has PTSD and he's gotten therapy
(14:04):
because back in twenty nineteen, Mahomes dislocated his knee on
a quarterback keeper, which happens to be about the time
the Chiefs stopped running consistently quarterback keepers after that. Then
Mahomes will finish up by giving or read Rout will
give Mahomes a little bit of a bubble bath, well
manny petty situations shoulder massage. That's what we call a compliment,
(14:28):
Sandwich delicious. Is that the number nine a jersey mix?
I don't know, but it's a compliment. Sandwich that said,
if I was calling plays for Kansas City, you know
you know what I do, not the traditional quarterback keeper. No, no, no,
I go tushy tushy, pushy tush push the eagle play.
(14:49):
Gotta do it. That would be my go to every
team in the NFL should do. Is the NFL didn't
outlaw it. They didn't say it's for boating. Do it.
There's no embargo on it. And that the NFL refuse
to do it, they consider doing it, and it's it's
the most lethal play in football I have seen in years.
No one's been able to stop it, so everyone should
(15:10):
do it. Any team that does not complete eighty five
to ninety percent of fourth and one, third and one
situations dopes that play is insane and as long as
it's allowed, go for it. What do you have to lose?
All right? Is the band Maelord Show. You want to
comment on any of this, you can join us here.
(15:31):

Inca terror from New York right since its Benny. I
know this isn't a request radio, but your voice is
so deep and sultry tonight, and it calls for a
recitation of the Autumn Wind. That's a good point. I
do have an autumn wind like voice here. And since
(17:29):
my all the old audio, all the drops that we've

reading of the Autumn Wind and we will we will

training camp at cal State Fullerton, who can forget those
(18:38):
unbelievable facilities, They were amazing, just world class. To think
about where the NFL is now and where the NFL
was then, much much different. G Man just says a plus.
On the mal Of monologue, Tyreek Hill is one cheap
shot away from being a janitor, and he says some
rumor about Mahomes and his wife being a very open
(19:01):
minded Uh. I heard that one, but nothing would shock me.
Andy the comic book guy, who is scheduled to appear
on the Fifth Hour podcast on Friday to promote the
Malard Meet and greet, You're gonna go in depth with
Andy the comic book guy, he says Ben in that audio,
Tyreek did not even say that he plays Madden the
(19:25):
night before. He said, he just goes on to the
team list to check the stats of the players, and
he points out that's a clown move. That is a
clown move. Trucker Joe writes in I finally got to
listen to the whole show in a long ass time,
feels good to do so, versus just being a podcast listener.
(19:46):
Shout out to the cry baby the Trump Sir scratch Off,
Yeah he's not He's not around anymore, scratch Off. I
don't know what happened. Oh yeah, he actually he blocked me.
How about that? Wait? Breaking news here, Eddie, breaking news.
I have been blocked by, Sir Scratchoff. Oh no, yes,
(20:07):
I've been I've been blocked by Uh but what did
I say to get blocked? What did I What did
I do? I don't remember saying anything. I haven't talked
about it. Why did he do that? I mean, I'm fine,
I don't It's not like I tweeted him or anything
like that. But uh, that's weird. Did you get blocked to,
Eddie or I'll look. Yeah, let me know what a loss?
(20:30):
I know my whole social media experience is going to
go down a couple of notches, not not getting those
witty videos from Sir scratch Off. Man. Right, I bet
you didn't block Bernie. I bet you Bernie is still there? Right? Yeah.
Speaker 7 (20:44):
I don't even know what is what his handle is?
Speaker 5 (20:46):
Neither do I I was just I was checking him.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
What's a wild uh souther boy? No end.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
So now I don't really care that much. I'm not
going to look.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Well, I I the only reason I would even know
about this is I blamed Trucker Joe, that jackass Trucker Joe,
because he tagged so scratch off and so then I
just clicked on that, and then it pointed out you're blocked.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
I don't care. I'm leaving goodbye.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Ye here, certain people I like them. You know, most
people are mute anyway.
Speaker 7 (21:18):
So who tagged him? I still can't find it.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Trucker Joe. Trucker Joe, gotta have a fall guy.
Speaker 7 (21:27):
Oh I see, okay, let me see.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Let's see if you're you're not. Oh okay, so you
like Coop and Eddie will have to check. I'm just
curious there. Uh Riga Minnesota points out that the NFL
in the world today flowers is a bunch of pussy
willow flowers nowadays. Uh I said Floria was an attorney
back of the day. Good monologue to start, well, Floria
(21:52):
actually knew Florya. When I was doing my website at
a gossip website. Florio was with like two other guys
doing a. It was not just a football site, it
was all sports. They were kind of doing the same
thing I was doing. And then he pulled away from
the other people he was working with and just did
it on his own and it kind of took off
and whatnot. But yeah, quite the deal, Anthony says Mahlor
(22:18):
after smoking. I sounded like George Takai. Well, congratulations, congratulations.
You will take some phone calls here. It is a
call and show at eight seven, seven ninety nine on
Fox if you would like to be part eight seven
seven nine nine six six three sixty nine and on
the Twitter slash x at Ben Mallor. We had one
(22:38):
NFL exhibition game last night. There was just one, and
I did flip to it for one second. Buy mistake,
buy mistake. I was I was watching some baseball and
I flipped over and it was riveting. And the timing
on this was serendipitous, the timing because I literally watched
(22:59):
it for at thirty seconds probably total. But I turned
over to the game, the Browns Eagles game, and the
sideline reports of Browns and I don't know who this
woman is, but she was giving a toe massage to
Deshaun Watson. On the sideline. They were like flirting on
the sidelines. It was very cringeworthy. Watch yes, real sugary.
(23:19):
You know, it's just and I know she was like
working for the Browns TV broadcast, but wow, I mean
I felt like I needed a shower after that. I
don't know about them, but it was very odd. And
that game ended in an eighteen all tie, which is
just great. They don't play overtime and practice football. So
(23:41):
the game in and the tie, But tales of my
idiot kicker, Tales of my idiot kicker. Cleveland Browns kicker
in this game making some headlines here because he missed
two field goals, But that's not the story here, as
Paul Harvey, the old broadcaster said back in the day,
and now we're going to get to the rest of
(24:02):
the story. So the Browns kicker, Cade York is his name,
Caid York who and he finished three or four on
field goal attempts. The game entered in an eighteen all tie,
but he had missed both of the previous kicks in
(24:23):
the preseison game, so there was chatter that the Browns
could go out and replace this guy. But apparently the
story here. Let me explain the story. So this guy
went on Instagram live not Instagram, I just regular Instagram
at halftime and posted on Instagram that he had made
a kick in the first half, so he I don't
(24:46):
think that's allowed. Maybe in the exhibition season they don't care,
But I thought the NFL that was like, for Boten,
you're not supposed to go on social media. Dr know whatever,
he's a kicker. Probably like, who's going to be following
a kicker for the Cleveland Browns in an exhibition game?
But first people, And so the guy went on there
and posted that he had made a kick in the
first half and then completely shanked it. And that's one
(25:11):
of the reasons the game ended in a tie at
the end, because he had a shot go ahead field
goal two minutes left in this exhibition game, and he
did not convert the first one. But there was a
penalty on the Eagles that was wide right from forty
seven yards, so they called the penalty on the Eagles,
so they moved the ball up five yards, so he
(25:31):
went from forty two yards out and he missed it
just off the left, upright. He then deleted the social
media post there celebrating that he had made a kick
earlier in the game, so he decided that that was it.
We're done with that.

I remember that story we talked about a little bit
with Joe Mixon running back of the Bengals, gotten to
some some trouble issues late night at his house something
like that. Anyway, he was found not guilty.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Although this is different, listen different to you mix things up,
the cross the streams apparently, Yeah, the shooting outside of
his house. He was not charged with that. His I
think his sister was. If I remember the story.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
Greatly, it does sound familiar.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
This is just your classic road rage story.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
All right, well, let's let's cut that out of the podcast. Okay, good,
edit that out that Bengals running back Joe Mixon found
not guilty on a charge of aggravated menacing stemming from
an a Legends into January where a woman claimed that
he pointed a gun in her face.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Wouldn't that be road Uh?
Speaker 5 (27:13):
Yeah, that I would guess.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
So.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
Yeah, he's still being suited in a separate case talking
about what you were talking about me. He was. He
literally was a menace. That's absolutely true. It was part
of his title exactly.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Anyway, all right, well, good congratulations to Joe Mixon. Do
you think you had a big party there.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
I'm sure he did. Yeah, but won't it won't be
as big though as the Malur meet and Greek coming up.
Speaker 1 (27:40):

Speaker 9 (28:22):
A baseball question for you. So I've been dating with
fat chick, kind of a friends with benefits. She comes
over one night and each half of my dinner at
Chicken Brito doesn't even give me head. The second night
she comes over.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
You gotta watch your language, Tony. There's certain phrases. We're
not doing a podcast here, you.
Speaker 9 (28:43):
Can't, you know, I mean, come on, oh my apologies.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Well did you think that was allowed?
Speaker 9 (28:51):
Well, because it wasn't flat out like you know other
words I could.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
You were describing an activity is what you're describing? Yeah,
you were looking for You were looking for a tongue
bath is what you're looking for? How about that?
Speaker 9 (29:07):
Yeah? So that so then the second night she comes
over and she eats my gourmet ice cream, doesn't even
give me a handy. And then the third night, the
third night she comes over.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Tony I don't. I know you're gonna you're about to
say something which isn't gonna make it on the air. Tony,
I know you. I know what you're gonna do here.
Why would why would you do this?
Speaker 5 (29:27):
No?
Speaker 9 (29:27):
No, no, no, no, just give me a second and
then night.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Hold. Let's take bet you, Eddie. Do you think what
he's about to say will make it on the air.
I'm going no.
Speaker 5 (29:37):
I'm gonna say no as well.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Okay, anyone thinking what he says will make it on the.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Air, I'm gonna say yes. I believe in this man, Okay.
I believe he's going to obey the three strikes policy.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
I can't wait to find out.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Okay, Well, let's go back to the drama's building here
as Tony's on two strikes, and the SAME's about to
end here for Tony, and this is gonna be his
last call of the week, and maybe we'll ban him
for a month if this doesn't go well. So there's
a lot of pressure here, Tony. You've already violated the
rules twice? Will you strike out? Here?
Speaker 6 (30:12):
We go?
Speaker 9 (30:13):
Okay, So the third night she comes over and she
went through my cookies like goddamn raccoon and so the
So that's three strikes.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
You're out? Correct? Well, I I don't know, Tony. You
have other options here, Tony, I like that you're calling
us for dating advice though.
Speaker 6 (30:37):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
That's good, thank you? All right. I don't know. Did
that make it on the air or not? I don't know.
Speaker 7 (30:46):
I think listen to the podcast.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
I want to go back and listen. I did not
did not? Is that right?
Speaker 6 (30:53):
Well?
Speaker 7 (30:53):
He said g D can't say we're not. We're not
even in safe harbor yet, are we?
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Now you are? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (31:02):
I mean I guess, I guess we could have let
that slip.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
But well, out of an abundance of caution here.
Speaker 7 (31:07):
Yes, that's it's all of all on the podcast, folks.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
So you you did the three strikes, there was Sam,
So you did the.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Third one was a little ambiguous, but you did it.
I mean I might have hit the button. Yeah, we
always told are you.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
A little a little quick on the button?
Speaker 3 (31:23):
I was, Sam.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
No, I'm usually button therapy here.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
I think that I'm very fair to everyone involved, both
the company and the listener.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Everyone thinks they're fair. Everyone thinks they're fair. No one
thinks they're not. Fair. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
I want people to speak their mind, but within reason.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Yeah, but you're a little paranoid. That's my job. You're
not really to be paranoid. Roberto. By the time Roberto
got done, he didn't give a crap. Roberto would let
everything on the here. Oh well, and we didn't get
in trouble for it. I mean there was f bombs
flying out.
Speaker 7 (31:56):
Really, I don't know if you let that happen.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
There was, Yeah, it was.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
It was.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
It was the Old West, it really was. It was
just nuts. I want to go back to the Eagles
game again. I didn't watch much of it, but I
love the reaction here. People are freaking out because of
the play of a reality TV star quarterback. Is that
what Marcus Mariota is now? He's the backup, backup. He
(32:23):
is the one that is a sprained ankle, a ACL injury,
a concussion away from being the starting quarterback for Philadelphia.
Fealen hurts well, fragile at quarterback. You would assume the
way it hurts runs the ball that you put your impling,
(32:43):
implying he's gonna hurt more based on that style Playlet's
Traditionally the stats say that's how it's happened. Anyway. In
the game against Cleveland, playing vanilla defense, not game planning
to stop Marcus Mariota, he attempted seventeen passes, completing nine
of them. Sound particularly good, and it was not. The
(33:06):
people that follow the Eagles a little concerned here that
Mariota sucks. He did have an interception, and his final
numbers he averaged a scintillating, thrilling five point one yards
per attempt and just look disengaged. He can't get too
(33:29):
worked up on this. I say this with all these
preseason stories until the regular season begins, and then Mariota
gets into a game and plays like that, then you're like, okay,
but it's not a great sign when the guy quit
on the Atlanta Falcons because they benched him because he
was stiff last year and he kind of gave up
on that, and fine, maybe there's other stuff going on,
(33:50):
but he's never been the guy. It was a stretch
when he was a backup with the Raiders where people
were convinced he was gonna be great, wonderful with John Gruden,
and that went put. That went sideways. It is the
Ben Malor Show. As we continue on because if Tony
and the Bay we're not allowed to take any calls
(34:11):
right now, so we will have the MLB pick em.
The MLB pick them. Here's the who am I game? NOL,
We'll go to football Ladmian Tomlinson and Emmett Smith are
number one and two. They hold the record for most
touchdowns by any player at any position in the first
seven seasons of their careers in NFL history. I am
third behind those two legends. Over my first seven years. Again,
(34:34):
Tomlinson number one, Emmitt Smith number two, and the record
for the most touchdowns by player at any position in
their first seven seasons in NFL history, I am third
behind those football legends. Who am I the answer? We'll
get to it. We'll do it next.

excited about that. We'll reveal some of those names later.
I have gotten an RSVP of someone who's not going

(35:49):

so he will not be going to the mallor meet
and greet at the Comic book Shop. All the information

(36:57):
the Boss from West Side LBC Ontario Smith from a

That's a good photo for mister nice guy. Who else
do you we have? Page down? Uh, let's see, can't

Philip Elliott is the answer from courtesy Flusher. That's his
guest Dick and Dayton from alf the Alien Opiner. By
the way, there will be a celebrity juggler at the
(37:41):
Malor Meet and green A. We've never done a meet
and greet.
Speaker 5 (37:43):
With a juggler, you know, I was just thinking, what
we need is a juggler.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Yes, yes, Now, we did have a live band when
Regina put the meet and greet in Minnesota. We had
a live band, but you were not there for that, Eddie.
But we'll have a juggler. I'm excited. A comedic juggler
that and this guy performs all over the country. Anyway,
the correct answer, Eddie, do you know the answer?
Speaker 5 (38:04):
Oh yeah, we just had him in a trivia game
the other day. It's Priest Holmes.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
It's a good name. But no, that is incorrect. It
is actually Sean Alexander, Sean Alison, underrated, sneaky good NFL player,
Sean Alexander. I don't know that we can put him
in the all time great category, Eddie, because he did
appear on the Fox Sports Radio. I think I interviewed
him back in the day, so I don't know you're
an all time great. If I interviewed you but anyway,
he sean Alexander is the correct answer. Time now for
(38:32):
the MLB, Pickum and kol Loop is going to go first, quickly.
Speaker 5 (38:38):
Cool Spencer Streider, Eddie, somebody named JP France.
